This isn't exactly Horror Movie News, but it is news of the real life horror/sci-fi genre and deserves to be heard! For decades people have believed that life does exist elsewhere that planet Earth. Roswell, New Mexico is arguably the most famous incident regarding extraterrestrial life, and the FBI released hundreds of memos in a new online resource called The Vault. One which CONFIRMS the events regarding flying saucers at Roswell in 1947. More after the bounce.
The memo is from Guy Hottel, the special agent in charge of the Washington field office in 1950, to the director, and the subject line of the memo is Flying Saucers. Agent Hottel reveals that an Air Force investigator had stated that 'three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico'.
The investigator gave the information to a special agent, he said. The FBI has censored both the agent and the investigator's identity.
Agent Hottel went on to write: 'They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. 'Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall,' he stated.
The bodies were 'dressed in a metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.'
Check the photos of the memo yourself below! Along with some Alien Autopsy snapshots that were reportedly from the Roswell scene.

Wonderful embellishment for scrapbooking or journeling. Cute metal embellishment that depicts the Lone Star State.
Ok, so I should have read the description better, but these metal plates are really small! They are very cute and very well made, but at 1 1/2 inches square, they are easily lost in larger designs.

Verona's University Migrates 4000 PCs to Linux
Verona is about to become famous for more than just Romeo and Juliet and opera: the university of the romantic Italian city is migrating 4000 of its desktops to Linux and open source.
The migration, which started in Jan 2009, follows a three-year program called Open Source di Ateno (OSA). The step by step change-over began with applications like Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice. From next January, open file and document standards will replace proprietary formats and by 2011, the change over of all PCs to open source software should be complete.
Staff at the university have already started courses in Ubuntu, also part of the program. One responsible administrator, Dr. Guido Gonzato, speaks on the Open Source News Portal the EU (OSOR) of initial successes. "Participants find it not hard at all to work with Linux, OpenOffice and Firefox," and he adds, "Some of the them even helped us by highlighting some differences, so we could explain these to others."
On a website set up specifically for the program, the university informs of the project's progress. It also lists the operating systems currently in use, including Fedora, Open Solaris and some Ubuntu variations. The Linux-variant Ubuntu is being recommended as system of choice for the desktops. That the server software has already migrated to open source is evident, with Red Hat Linux as operating system, Apache Webserver, Samba as file and print server with PostgreSQL and MySQL data banks. Seven from nine scientific programs currently being run at the uni are under open source license.
great postThanks a lot for sharing the article on cash. That's a awesome article. I enjoyed the article a lot while reading. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful article.I want to say very thank you for this great informations. now i understand about it. Thank you !
Awesome!It's so encouraging to see stories like this more and more often.
Misleading headline?"it was written intentionally to mislead"
Maybe, but there's a simpler &easier explanation, leaving yours sliced by Occam's Razor: your version of the headline doesn't fit in the space available, using Linux Mag's standard font and typeface.
Further, using the present tense ("migrates" in English as they did conforms to standard 'newspaper' headline style of abbreviated titles. According that pattern of usage, the use of the present tense is ambiguous, and doesn't necessarily imply a completed action. Actually, even in standard usage present tense can refer to future events, as in "the train leaves tonight at 6 PM".
Perhaps, English is not your native language?
To intentionally mislead, would be to do as MS did a few years ago, when they announced a Brazilian bank was converting to Vista. My brother-in-law, who samples field data for network profiling and load modeling happened to be at that bank a few weeks later . . . and the IT staff there knew nothing of that conversion.
Headline is misleading.The headline should read: "Verona's University Plans Migration of 4000 PCs to Linux." I don't really think this was a mistake, but rather it was written intentionally to mislead the reader and put as much positive spin on the story as possible.
Bravo !!Standing ovation to the IT staff, the University management for courageous decision and the academy employees ..
May all you be an inspiration to the rest of academic community and rest of the users.
Good luck and again bravo !!!
Good Move!Good move! You save lots of money, create a better scientific plataform, begin to use standards, access to lots of good software, educate better, incentive innovation and free enterprise, and also become more performant and secure system network.
Usually the Companies and Universities does not have the courage to do this, specially in my country, Portugal, for lack of technology education of their IT staff that does not try to implement this great solutions. Or just because Microsoft just give some hidden money or incentives to the management people to choose Microsoft.
This action is a great example and a model world wide, that should be applied in every academic university or institute. Congratulations for their management and IT staff.
GreatGreat. Hope your example inspires other universities all over the world. It only makes sense going the open way to safeguard the future against obsolescence of file formats, like the way MS does it just to add more $ to their huge cash pile.
Wonderful! If the university could only now actively inspire others...

Baxter, Burgundy's beloved canine companion, returns for the highly anticipated sequel, but with a twist: The pup's original portrayer, Peanut, passed away in the years between films, so a new pooch was cast to fill his A-List paws.
Shelter pup Quince "was found wandering around a grocery store supermarket," says his trainer Ray Beal, before making his big screen debut in Anchorman 2. But you'd never guess the dog was a newbie based on his days on set.

Anchorman 2 may be gobbling up all the press right now, but apparently people have been clamoring for a sequel to another iconic Will Ferrell film.
And Ferrell is quite adamant that it will never, ever happen.

Will Ferrell recently revealed that his inspiration for Anchorman's Ron Burgundy came from a real-life anchor named Mort Crim.
Crim worked at newsrooms around the country, and was – with anchorwoman Jessica Savitch in Philadelphia – part of one of the first male-female news desk pairings in the country.

Will Ferrell's round-the-clock promotional tour for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is raising some interesting temporal paradoxes. Each of these appearances is taking place in the year 2013 (obviously), but Ferrell's Ron Burgundy character appears unchanged from the way he appears in both Anchorman films, both of which take place more than 30 years in the past.

Let's face it, by mid-2014 (assuming Anchorman 2 does well enough), Ron Burgundy will likely be an actual news anchor, and this video will seem less funny in retrospect as Will Ferrell disappears from reality, subsumed by his most hirsute creation.
Until then, though, it's hilarious. Funny or Die gathered Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer and Chris Cuomo (all of whom apparently have history with Ron) to discuss Burgundy's journalistic abilities, integrity and lack thereof.

Perhaps the world's healthiest diet, the Mediterranean Diet is abundant in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and olive oil. It features fish and poultry—lean sources of protein—over red meat, which contains more saturated fat. Red wine is consumed regularly but in moderate amounts.
Research suggests that the benefits of following a Mediterranean-style eating pattern may be many: improved weight loss, better control of blood glucose (sugar) levels and reduced risk of depression, to name a few. Eating like a Mediterranean has also been associated with reduced levels of inflammation, a risk factor for heart attack, stroke and Alzheimer's disease.Tip 1: Replace butter and margarine with healthy oils as often as possible. »

I worked at Jefferies & Company full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Easy to shine in short bursts
Cons – unprofessional environment populated by friends and family rather than by the talent. Senior management unaware that a company is made up of more than just sales and trading - it actually requires capable IT and middle office as well as a thoughtful investment in infrastructure and assets that support the business process. Penny wise and often pound foolish coupled with extravagant waste thrown at the wrong people

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Figure drawings from the last month. By the way, great work everyone! Some really beautiful work on this page!
These range from 30 min. to 2 hour poses.
Spraynation> Great rendering and impeccable lines
deadkitty > nice sensitivity in those lines
Amazing Action Ape > dynamic shapes and good construction lines. I need to work on that kind of stuff.
Here's more charcoals
Martin, those are some really fantastic broad curves and gestures!
Thanks Deselect! I'm having great fun with that way of drawing. I'd say it's half observation and half invention as i don't really draw what i see, especially when it come to lighting.
10min poses
some reposts..need to go back to life drawing damn..most of this are done very quickly..there is also bad lighting hard for me to see the anatomy..these people dont know anything about life drawing ..
my new site, is crazy stuff but is my own space, I can say whatever!! hehe:
One of the art schools I respect the most:
If anyone can give me a bit of help with this question it would be really appreaciated!
Q. I have been looking through all the figure drawings on this thread, and one thing really came across to me. I noticed that there are a lot of really good drawings that look very realistic, but the linework on them looks completely random! There isn't a straight line on the drawings anywhere, and sometimes there are large parts of the anatomy that are just left out, but my mind seems to fill them in, and they look totally convincing to me!
I just want to know how you get such a free hand, and how do you know when it is not necessary to draw everything in? I tend to go over my linework over and over as Im figure drawing, and even though I am very attentive to detail, my linework is...well...crap.
I cant seem to train myself to draw so freely, and I think its really making the quality of my work suffer, and it takes me so much longer! I was looking at a gnomon workshop dvd by J P Targete, and as I was watching a sample vid, his linework was everywhere and so quick and wavey, yet every line seemed as though it was just perfectly placed!
Im sorry if this is a stupid question, or difficult to answer, but if anyone can just give me a hand, or point me in the right direction I would really, really appreciate it! I have never had any training in life drawing, so it may be as simple as 'check out this dvd, book etc', but I will await your response eagerly!
Thanks for your time.
hmm, did you try drawing with your whole arm, making long sweeping lines?
try not to move your wrist too much but move your arm, mainly using your shoulder. this goes for the bigger lines. the smaller the details you draw, the more you might be using the wrist, the bigger and more general the lines, the more you might be using the whole arm.
also what makes lines look like they where "just perfectly placed" is good old knowledge that gives guys like targete the confidence to do just this: place them perfectly. he knows what he's drawing.
maybe post two examples, one of yours that you think shows your problem, and one of somebody else that you admire, or one of yours that you think works quite well.
Thanks for the advice so far Dorian.
I do try and make long sweeping lines, but I make about 10 in the same place until im completely happy with its placement (or the line is so thick that it has to be right in some place!)
Here is a recent quick sketch I did that I think illustrates my problem. This one is in ballpoint pen, but my problem is as bad or worse with pencil:
You can see how heavy my linework is, especially around the outline of the figure. Maybe I just need to be more confident with my first lines rather than keep going over, but I just don't know.
Here is an example of some linework from Targete that I mentioned that I really admire. Just look how free the linework is on those wings in the top left:
And if you take a look at the trailer for Marko Djurdjevic's Character Ideation dvd, about 2/3 of the way through there is some sketches shown of lots of figures in gas masks, and the line work there is incredible too! By the way, I have that dvd on order so it may help me, but it won't be here for another 3 months
Any help would be much appreciated!!
very wonderful...
I just wanted to reiterate, in case there is any confusion: The second image in my post above is NOT my work, it is by the artist J.P. Targete, and the image is taken from his new gnomon workshop dvd (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/jta01.html)
The first sketch in my post above IS my work however, so feel free to crit that.
Thanks, and looking forward to responses.
after a year of more 'polished' life drawing, ive taken to just taking my sketchbook with me and filling page after page - i still know i've got a long way to go but i'll give you a show anyway, any critique is more than welcome:
1st 2 were done in sequence with a few others, didnt take too long - 20mins for both maybe?
Attachment 72334
Attachment 72335
another quick one which i added a bit of colour to later on
Attachment 72336
Little late but.... better late than never
Thanks for the compliment Aztc!
This page is in my portfolio actually...in the life drawing section.
I have 3 more pages that are each longer studies than the last and I'll put those up later on.
couple of recent pictures..this drawings are from a while ago..
its actually a statue but is still a figure
construction of the head is bad..specially the eyes..done with conte..
my new site, is crazy stuff but is my own space, I can say whatever!! hehe:

I'm new to this forum - delighted to see some wonderful life drawing work posted here. These are a few of my images.
I think I've got it figured out now.
You have very nice linework Annesharlie. Nice drawings!
I haven't been around here in a loooong time. (I was at the "Austin Sweatbox of Death")
Here are a couple of recent long ones (5-ish hours); Conté Crayon:
Good stuff, annesharlie!!
I think that you are making too many lines. Here are two tricks to try:Originally Posted by space-sprayer
1. Float your pencil. In other words, instead of making a lot of searching lines, hover the point above the paper until you have the "feel" of the line.Then, only make 1 mark.
2. Instead of multiple searching lines, draw one big fat line with the side of the lead (easier to do if you hold the pencil underhanded); you need a real pencil for this, it doesn't work with a mechanical one. Keep the fat line as soft and light as possible. Then, draw your final, confident line with the point. (again, only one!)
no drawings to post, but wanted to throw in my thoughts for you scott:
pretty ok, I like the red, too!
what came to my mind:
first one:
- hand is too big
- nose looks like it's going "into the face" too much
- thigh looks very long
- you lost the threedimensionality (big form modelling) by focusing too much on the details. Details are over-rendered, the underlying big forms (basic shapes, cubes, cylinders, etc.) have been lost. this results in a unconvincingly flat-looking drawing. - Shows especially in the hair at the side of her head, the stomach and the back
- overall she's too dark. unless she was a quite dark-skinned lady Maybe try to keep your lights lighter and use more delicate modeling in the lights. Right now there's bright light (white of paper) at strange spots (thigh & breast). The rest is rather dark halftone or shadow. You completely ignored at least a third of the available spectrum!
second one:
- might be a matter of taste, but I totally don't like the sketchy line stuff.. not very much sense of structure and understanding
- the contour of the breast closer to us (line between breasts) seems to end too high up
- reflected light on arm is played up too much for my taste, takes away from the round feeling of the arm
- nice play of lineweight at thigh!
- it would help the head a lot if there was some continous movement of tone (light -> dark) from left -> right and top -> bottom. as it is now, the lower cheek jumps out at the viewer even though the value for the shadow at the cheekbone might be correct. adding more tone as the cheek goes from mouth towards the ear would help a lot I think
so, your main problem are values I guess. then some minor proportion things.
I think you could work on lineweight and shape design as well.
Hope this helps! If you disagree in any point, let me know, I'd be happy to learn what you think!
Oh and for 5 hours, they're really pretty good! post more!
Cool! I was afraid you wouldn't like it.
kmscottmoore - Thanks for the advice, I will definitely give that a try and let you know how it works out. I love the way you used the conte crayon in your sketches too, it looks really cool, so ill have to try that at some point.
Martin- really dig your way of drawing with those convex versa concave broad swooshy strokes
annesharkie- great drawings, specially like hands and feet
great works in here in general lately
i'm new to the forum.
i have some pastel stuff to offer.
I'm a newbie, but by all means, feel free to tear me apart.
i made this with nupastels, and hour or so.

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
A small pine tree, knob-cone pine normally stays 15-30 ft. tall in cultivation. In the wild it can grow to 50 ft. With age it forms a straggling crown. Its needles are a bright, lime-green. Scales on the tightly closed cones enlarge into prominent knobs. These cones remain on the tree for years, releasing seed only after a fire.
The whorls of many knobby, closed cones help identify this species. Since the cones may become imbedded within the wood of the expanding trunk, this species has been called the tree that swallows its cones. When fires kill the trees, cones as much as 30 years old are opened by the heat and shed their seeds. The abundant seedlings then begin a new forest.

Plan Your Rome Vacation
The wide, busy streets around Rome's central train station feel much more urban than the rest of the city center. Traffic is heavier, 19th-century buildings are taller, and the overall feeling is gray and commercial—not the Rome of travel brochure fantasies. But the hotel density here is the highest in the city, and you're assured of finding a room in a pinch. And parts of this area, such as Monti and San Lorenzo, have become popular with the hipster crowd thanks to abundant eateries (both Italian and ethnic) and funky wine bars. Although most travelers choose the area because it's cheap, there are a surprising number of high-end hotels here as well, and if you're looking for a luxurious room, the price-quality ratio here is better than in swankier parts of town.

Now recognized as one of the pre-eminent genre directors in the world, Johnnie To has had a long, diverse and prolific career, but made his name with a series of super-tough crime movies — including The Mission, PTU, Fulltime Killer and Exiled — that mixed a John Woo-like flair in action sequences with a remarkable formal control and a considerably more cynical, ironic and down-to-earth tone than in Woo's baroque paeans to brotherly love and bloody redemption. The Election diptych is a perfect display of To's mastery, dispensing with the sentimental notion of honour among thieves that marks so many gangster films and capturing the nakedly amoral lust for power at the dark heart of organized-criminal society. Featuring a stellar cast of To veterans including Simon Yam, Tony Leung Ka-fai and Louis Koo, the two films constitute a sprawling crime epic that traces the power plays, betrayals and retributions of high-level gangsters battling to fill the power vacuum left after the leadership of their triad society comes up for grabs. Though the films were shot and released separately, Election 2 is not a sequel to the first film but the essential tying-up of its many intricate narrative strands, making it imperative to view both films together.

Bid On Items From Musicians Who Played at Pilsner Fest at the Auction and Support "Centre Umbrella"
22 August 2012
Plzeň, August 20, 2012 – Popular musicians will join the traditional benefit at Pilsner Fest this year. Some bands playing at this year's celebration of Pilsen beers have decided to auction off items from their music equipment and wardrobe, posters and recordings. These artefacts will be on the block from August 27th to September 1st at the auction site Aukro.cz, with the profits supporting "Centre Umbrella."
Those who bid may win valuable pieces such as guitars belonging to Jiří Schmitzer and Michal Pavlíček, drumsticks, a t-shirt and CD from David Koller, a brand wardrobe from the band "Vypsaná Fixa" and many other things from Gipsy.cz, Mňága and Žďorp, Tatabojs and Janek Ledecký.
"During this unique Pilsner Fest auction, you have a chance to have a good time, put your hands on a valuable trophy and at the same time support a good cause," said Vladimír Jurina from Plzeňský Prazdroj.
The auction will start on Saturday, August 27, at 5:00 pm, when all the artefacts will be displayed at www.aukro.cz, and will close on Saturday, September 1, at 5:00 pm. You can place your bets until the very closing moment.
This is an exclusive internet auction accessible from the www.aukro.cz main page. You do not have to be registered at Aukro.cz to participate in the auction. It is possible to join the auction from your computer, tablet, or smart phone. That is a big advantage for Pilsner Fest visitors especially, since the whole area of the event will have Wi-Fi coverage, therefore making it possible for them to place bids until the very last second.
The organisers of the auction will give the cheque with the total profit from the auction to the director of "Centre Umbrella," PhD. Alena Kábrtová on Saturday, September 1, around 7:00 pm on the Pilsner Fest's main stage.

Eurozone crisis: Uncertainty meets more uncertainty
Petros Giannakouris/AP
Shipyard workers demand their unpaid wages in central Athens. Greece is now as close as it's ever been to leaving the eurozone.
I went on "The Patt Morrison Show" on Tuesday to join NPR "Planet Money" correspondent Zoe Chace and travel expert Terry McCabe to discuss the ongoing, seemingly neverending eurozone crisis. As you probably know, there are now serious conversations happening in Europe about Greece exiting the euro. Spain and Italy could be in trouble. Ireland and Portugal already are. Governments have fallen; most recently French President Nicholas Sakozy lost his re-election bid to socialist François Hollande.
Despite all this, it's easy to talk yourself into a false sense of calm. After all, the eurozone crisis feels as if it's been going in for years — because it has been going on for years!
At the Financial Times, Martin Wolf doesn't think we should be calm. He thinks we should acknowledge reality: that post-financial crisis, the world is in a "contained depression." And we're unprepared for the consequences of a eurozone meltdown:
Eurozone crisis: It's baaaccckkk!
DOMINIQUE FAGET/AFP/Getty Images
Men look at the IBEX-35 index curve on April 23, 2012 at Madrid's stock exchange. Top shares on the Madrid stock exchange slumped 3.24 percent in early trade, hammered by concerns over Spanish sovereign debt and the French presidential elections.
Well, it was only a matter of time before the zombie plague that is the European debt crisis once again lurched toward global markets, hungry for brains....brains...brains... I mean bailouts...bailouts...bailouts.... That's what Spain is now telegraphing, as the yield on the country's 10-year bond edged closer to the critical 7-percent mark, the point at which a bailout by European banking authorities would be necessary.
Spain's woes are very different from Greece's. Spain has a banking crisis that was brought on by a property boom. Greece borrowed to build a welfare state. For this reason, it's critically important that Spain's crisis be contained, because other banks have exposure to Spanish banks. Banks outside Spain.
Here's some insight from (of all places) Bermuda's Royal Gazette:
Quote of the Week: Greek debt crisis edition
Vladimir Rys/Getty Images
He might not be worried about Greece's recent default and payout of credit default swaps. But some other people are.
I just discovered Tony Alfidi's blog and have been enjoying his uncensored views on a variety of tech and finance subjects. I agreed with him on Apple's mastery of planned obsolescence and now I'm tempted to agree with his verdict on credit default swaps (CDS) — a number of which just kicked in as Greece "defaulted" on some of its privately held sovereign dealt.
Some people think that CDS, despite their role in the financial crisis (they brought down AIG), remain useful, as a means of hedging risk and as a relatively recent example of financial innovation that was sadly misused.
Alfidi says un-uh:
I've always believed that credit default swaps are meaningless and even dangerous. [There's your Quote of the Week!] Banks and hedge funds use them to place directional bets with no regard for a counterparty's solvency. The European versions of AIG, whoever they are, can now breathe easier for a few weeks knowing they can get away with more uncapitalized CDS writing.
Three reasons why Greece should leave the euro
Vladimir Rys/Getty Images
An elderly man feeds pigeons on Syntagma Square on November 3, 2011 in Athens, Greece. Greece stands on the brink of economice collapse as political disagreements continue concerning the financial aid package proposed by the EU.
At this point, the Greek debt crisis probably seems like it's been going on forever. It hasn't, but it seems to defy resolution. Last Friday, the country finally defaulted, in a strictly technical sense, on part of its sovereign debt — an outstanding slice of private bondholder debt that was insured by the dreaded credit default swaps. The agency that determines whether those swaps — which amount to a bet that a country won't be able to keep up with its bond payments — should pay out said, "Yep, Greece has defaulted." Felix Salmon and John Carney provided a good explanation on Marketplace at the end of last week.
The main issue for Greece is just how long it's going to have to suffer. The austerity measures that are being forced upon it in exchange for more bailout money from the European financial authorities are setting it up for a decade of pain. On the plus side, Greece stays in the eurozone and has access to financing through the currency union; something can always be worked out...however...s-l-o-w-l-y. On the minus side...well, there's all that austerity and aforementioned pain.
Greek debt crisis: Is this a financial coup d'etat?
Vladimir Rys/Getty Images
ATHENS, GREECE - NOVEMBER 03: A general view of the building of the Greek Parliament on the Syntagma (Constitution) Square is pictured on November 03, 2011 in Athens, Greece.
I've been steering clear of the euro crisis for the past month or so, but given the latest frenzied spate of negotiations about how to prevent Greece from defaulting on its debt, I figured it was time to jump back in. The latest news is pretty straightforward: over the weekend, the Greek parliament voted to accept a new set of austerity measures, in exchange for a new round of bailout money — $171 billion, roughly.
This hasn't gone down well with the population, according the the New York Times:
[C]haos on the streets of Athens, where more than 80,000 people turned out to protest on Sunday, and in other cities across Greece reflected a growing dread — certainly among Greeks, but also among economists and perhaps even European officials — that the sharp belt-tightening and the bailout money it brings will still not be enough to keep the country from going over a precipice.
Angry protesters in the capital threw rocks at the police, who fired back with tear gas. After nightfall, demonstrators threw Molotov cocktails, setting fire to more than 40 buildings, including a historic theater in downtown Athens, the worst damage in the city since May 2010, when three people were killed when protesters firebombed a bank. There were clashes in Salonika in the north, Patra in the west, Volos in central Greece, and on the islands of Crete and Corfu.
Greece and its foreign lenders are locked in a dangerous brinkmanship over the future of the nation and the euro. Until recently, a Greek default and exit from the euro zone was seen as unthinkable. [my emphasis] Now, though experts say that the European Union is not prepared for a default and does not want one, the dynamic has shifted from trying to save Greece to trying to contain the damage if it turns out to be unsalvageable.

Deans not distracted by Cooper comments
Coach Robbie Deans insisted preparations for Australia's Rugby Championship showdown with South Africa have not been derailed by the Quade Cooper affair.
Cooper is injured but claimed he would have refused to play in Pretoria anyway because the "toxic" environment in the Wallaby set-up is "destroying" him as a person and a player.
However, it has been reported in Australia that angry senior Wallabies believe Cooper's comments are disrespectful to those who will take the field at Loftus Versfeld.
And Deans indicated the row had served to strengthen the determination within the Wallaby camp to extend an unbeaten run against the Springboks to six Tests.
The Wallabies will need that togetherness because they have never beaten South Africa at the high-altitude fortress of Loftus Versfeld.
"I don't think it's been a distraction at all, really," Deans said.
"It certainly hasn't been evident. We've had a good week of prep and we're just concentrating on playing and hopefully doing well in a Test match.
"That's the priority."
Australia have bounced back from successive defeats to New Zealand with home wins over the Springboks and then Argentina, although they had to come from behind in both matches.
Deans has taken the bold move to replace Cooper with Kurtley Beale, who will make his first Test start at fly-half after 30 in the full-back jersey.
Beale apologised to Australia supporters after his error-ridden display in the defeat to New Zealand but his application has impressed Deans.
"The (jersey) number might be new but his role within the game won't be," Deans said.
"Although his season hasn't been without challenge, Kurtley stepped up with his involvements on the Gold Coast (in their win over Argentina), making a difference when he was on the field.
"He's brought that enthusiasm forward with him since we've been in South Africa, has worked hard on the training track, and is excited about the opportunity ahead.
"He has good memories from some of his experiences over here."
It was Beale's last-gasp penalty in 2010 that secured Australia their first victory over South Africa in Bloemfontein in 47 years.
The Springboks have also made a change at fly-half, with Morne Steyn axed for 20-year-old Johan Goosen as one of four changes from the defeat to New Zealand.
South Africa opened their campaign with a home win against Argentina but Steyn has struggled for form as the Springboks drew with the Pumas and lost to both the Wallabies and All Blacks.
Goosen has been picked to bring a greater attacking thrust to the Springboks while Steyn, who plays his provincial rugby in Pretoria, has not even been included on the bench.
"I either back him 100% or not. That's the decision I had to take. This was very difficult, but I look at what the team needed first and then at the impact on the individual," coach Heyneke Meyer was quoted as saying on keo.co.za.
"At Loftus, where he has played well, it is a big call. But he accepted it graciously. I feel it is in his best interest that he doesn't play."
Andries Bekker and Eben Etzebeth both return at lock while Jaco Taute makes his debut at outside centre in place of the injured Francois Steyn.

Benton handed Pine Bluff an 11-1 loss in five innings Friday.
Head coach Mark Balisterri said, "Believe it or not, it was a tough game for us."
Balisterri said, after winning big against El Dorado, Vilonia and McClellan, he didn't want his players to get cocky.
"You do that and sometimes you start thinking, 'Hey, we're great and can't be beat.' Well, they didn't do that," he said.
Sophomore Coulton Lee pitched all five innings for the Panthers, allowing one run in the first inning. He struck out eight batters while giving up two hits, one walk and one hit-by-pitch.
The Beavers took care of business Friday, beating 3A-5 rival Fountain Lake 16-2 in five innings.
Glen Rose (10-6, 4-1 3A-5) is now tied with Jessieville for second place in the conference. Arkansas Baptist, who handed the Beavers their only conference loss, remains undefeated in 3A play.
The Beavers have two conference games left. They travel Thursday to Episcopal and then host Jessieville Monday, April 25.
Although head coach Chase Meyers wants to beat Jessieville in the teams' makeup game, he doesn't want his team looking ahead.
BRYANT — In a battle for control of the 7A Central Conference, the Lady Hornets fell short Thursday.
Bryant lost 2-1 to conference rival North Little Rock with all three runs coming off solo home runs.
After being down 1-0 through five innings, the Charging Wildcats' bats came to life and North Little Rock hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth to take the lead, which the Lady Hornets could never regain.
Head coach Debbie Clark said, "It was all momentum. I could see it in front of my face, and I couldn't do anything about it."
The Miners beat St. Joseph 8-7 Thursday thanks to a walk-off home run by senior Kyler Hickey in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Bauxite (11-9, 2-3 4A-7) travels to face conference leader Nashville today. Head coach Michael Mattox said, "I know we can play with them.
"We just have to play solid defense and have a big effort on the mound."
Sophomore Chris Revas is scheduled to start as pitcher today with junior Ryan Weng, who only threw 76 pitches during Tuesday's outing against Pulaski Robinson, a likely relief, Mattox said.
William Edwin Glenn, 83, of Benton passed away Wednesday, April 13, 2011. He was born June 3, 1927, in Benton to John and Esther Grasty Glenn.
He was a member of Parkview United Methodist Church and retired from the U.S. Postal Service. He was a 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason.
Annie Jewel Anderson Brown, 78, of Alexander passed away Thursday, April 14, 2011, at her home.
She was born on March 22, 1933, in Rover to the late Charlie and Jessie (Cathey) Anderson.
Mrs. Brown was a member of the Hurricane Lake Baptist Church.
In addition to her parents, her husband, Charles Brown, also preceded her in death.
She is survived by two sons, Tom Brown and wife Sally of Benton and Pete Brown of Alexander; one brother, Charles Anderson and wife Hazel of Rover; and two grandchildren, Paul Brown and Jessica Brown.
Jean Cowden Saunders, 84, Benton passed away April 13, 2011.Â
She was born June 11, 1926, in Bauxite.
She graduated from Wesleyan College and taught in the Bryant School System. Later, she founded and successfully ran Cowden Art Conservation for many years. Jean also was an author and published children's books. Her interests included, flower gardens and working crosswords.
Survivors include a son, David Henry Cowden III and wife Era; daughter, Jean Cowden Kisker and husband Harry; four grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

It's a hashtag that's appeared frequently on Twitter feeds throughout the season – especially those belonging to fans of the Blue Jackets, Oilers and Hurricanes: #FailForNail.
For those who live under a rock and haven't yet taken their first steps into the magical world of Twitter, it's a rallying cry for the team in question to sacrifice wins this season in order to land the talented Mr. Yakupov with the first overall pick next June.
While it's doubtful that any NHL organization would intentionally lose to improve their draft ranking, the notion is certainly understandable. For the better part of the past decade, Leafs fans have decried the frustrating tendency of their team to play just well enough to barely miss the playoffs, thereby depriving their fans of not just the post-season dance, but also the high draft picks that can truly change a team's fortunes, a la Pittsburgh, Chicago and potentially Edmonton. From a big picture perspective, it would seem preferable to have three years at the very bottom of the standings than to have three years of finishing 20th overall.
Which brings us to one of the favourite topics of conversation among poolies (if the sheer volume of posts in the forums is any indication): tanking.
Webster defines tanking as "to make no effort to win; to lose intentionally; to give up in competition." Crafty fantasy managers realize that no one remembers who finished 9th in a 12-team league, so perhaps it's better to gun for the bottom if you find yourself in that position, to assure yourself of an elite draft pick. Without having to worry about the real world pressures of a frustrated fan base, lagging ticket sales and a meddlesome media horde, intentionally throwing the season becomes that much more tempting.
I'm of two minds on the subject, which has landed me at the centre of controversy in the forums from time to time. On one hand, much like Coach from Survivor (*insert snicker*), I'm a firm believer in playing the game with honour and integrity. I want my leagues to be fair and sportsmanlike. Tanking skews the standings, not just at the bottom end but also at the top end, where some contending teams may get an advantage by padding their stats in a matchup with the tanking team. Furthermore, if tanking is carried out through trades, it can also ruin the competitive balance of the league. Tanking violates the spirit of what is supposed to be a fun game.
On the other hand, I firmly defend a manager's right to run his team as he sees fit. If he is truly doing it for the right reasons and with a long term strategy in mind, it's tough to argue that dropping from 9th to 12th isn't the best scenario for his team. Enduring short-term pain for long-term gain by trading veterans for promising youth is a valid game plan.
Part of what makes this such a difficult issue is that tanking isn't a black and white issue; there all kinds of grey. What strikes one person as tanking may seem perfectly reasonable to another.
In my league we have a rule that teams must dress their best roster each week, so for instance, dressing injured players while sitting healthy stars is clearly out of bounds. However, we also have a farm system that allows you to keep a player on the farm until he's played 165 NHL games, coupled with a rule that a player can only serve a maximum of four years on your active roster and then you have to trade or release him.
So, over the past few years, the bottom teams have kept players like John Tavares, Taylor Hall, Tyler Seguin and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the farm, ensuring that they don't burn up any of their 4 years of service while their team has no chance of contending. They would rather keep them on the farm for as long as possible, and build towards those next few years after these prospects graduate to their big league roster.
It's a smart strategy, but technically it violates the rule that they must dress their best roster every week. Inarguably, these teams would be stronger with their top prospects in their line-up. But does their strategy violate the spirit of competition? Should they be forced to dress these players in the interest of integrity? I think not.
Where I would draw the line is in cases that involve clear collusion, in which the tanking team trades their best players to a contender and reaps a share of the rewards for a high finish. There's no place for deceit in fantasy hockey.
The line between legitimate strategy and tanking is a fuzzy one. Any case of suspected tanking must be handled carefully. As a commissioner, you can't judge every move at face value. You need to talk to your owners, get inside their heads and seek to understand their thinking behind the moves they make. If they can make a strong case that that they are acting in the best interest of their team, I wouldn't want to deny them that right, even though it may have some implications on the standings. As a commissioner, my goal is to create a fair and fun environment in which all managers can operate their teams however they think is best.
Where do you draw the line on tanking, and how would you deal with an obvious tanking situation in your league?
Superchief said:
I don't mind tanking but I do believe if someone does it there should be some type of penalty.
Stephen Alexander said:
No tankers this year!!

notoriousjim said:
The latest issue has been streaming. we already have a 50 move limit for the season. but this year i had about 30 moves left when the playoffs started, so i have been using a roster spot to stream for the playoffs. It is obviously in the letter of the rules, but the question is if it is in the spirit of the rules. I argued that it was part of the plan for my team management all season to have these moves to stream in the playoffs and could not see how anyone with roster moves in playoffs would not be looking to do the same thing.
this led to the question of, "when is streaming ok"...

1) A draft lottery. Bottom 4 teams take place, and the first four picks of the draft's first round are each determined by this draft. (As opposed to a pick one and they get 1st overall.)
2) The Toilet Bowl - With 8 of the 16 teams making the playoffs, the other 8 teams play for (or not for) the Toilet Bowl. It's the same playoff tree structure of best-plays-worst that we're all familiar with, but instead of wanting to win to move on to the next round, you want to win to be eliminated. The "winner" of the Toilet Bowl (the team that lost 3 consecutive match-ups) not only "wins" the Toilet Bowl, but they have to supply an additional $50 to the next draft, to be used for food and/or beverages.
